Please contact your member service advisor or send email to orders@more.net if you would like to talk through the service packages that make the most sense for your organization.

Membership services and connectivity - Enjoy the best of what we have to offer by purchasing a membership service package and connecting to our reliable and robust network.

Membership services only - Select from two service package options based on your organization's technology needs. Our Full Membership Service package offers the flexibility of having unlimited access to our most popular services, plus several additional perks at no additional cost; our Basic Membership Service package is designed for those that may require a little less than unlimited access. See below for service package details.

Connectivity only - Our optical network was recently upgraded, making MOREnet one of the few research and education networks in the country to support up to 100 gigabits per second (Gbps). A connection to MOREnet's backbone includes full, committed bandwidth, technical support for your connection, router, circuit monitoring and incident response support from our cyber security operations team.

Network Connectivity Fee (NCF)

Even with upgrades to our fiber and equipment this past year, we are able to reduce the Network Connectivity Fee for FY18.

The NCF is based on the bandwidth for each connection you receive from MOREnet. It covers the costs related to bringing member connections into the MOREnet backbone, Internet access, support of the MOREnet backbone, cybersecurity services and access to Internet2.
